Scutula is a genus of
lichenicolous fungi in the family Ramalinaceae
.
Taxonomy
The genus Scutula was
monophyletic grouping of cyanobacteria-associated lichens.[7] Before this, Scutula was applied to a diverse set of unrelated lichenicolous fungi featuring hyaline spores with a single septum and sessile apothecia.[8]
Once classified in the family Micareaceae,
molecular phylogenetic analysis showed Scutula to be nested within the Ramalinaceae, closely related to the genus Toninia.[9] This familial placement has been accepted in recent large-scale updates of fungal classifications.[10][11][12]
Description
Scutula species are characterized by
Anamorphs associated with Scutula include Libertiella in the mesoconidia and Karsteniomyces in the macroconidia.[8]
